House passes CISPA, Obama promises veto

Why do they keep doing this? It's not like the RIAA or Hollywood, or the Internet itself or whatever is at the edge of Armageddon with web pirates swarming or something; they already still make ungodly amounts of money, and are doing quite well.

Why do they keep pushing these idiotic bills?

What's with all the NY Democrats voting for this horrid bill?

I think (and correct me if I'm wrong) that NY Democrats get a lot of donations from those in the entertainment industries (Hollywood, TV Networks, and whatnot), and those industries support these kinds of bills because they think an unregulated Internet cuts into their profit margins.

If this is true, that probably also explains California Democrats (where Hollywood is located after all) doing the same thing, and why Al Franken is in support of this (because he's been involved with the same industries, if I recall correctly).
